To all whom t may concern:

Be it, known that' l', Epson Eminem', a citizen of the United States, and' resident of Tuxedo Park, New `York, have invented eertain newl and usefulv Improvements in Packn ages for Distilled Spirits, of which the followe ing is av specification:

My invention relates to anv improvement in packages for distilled spirits, and has for its tom .5, which is not removable.

object to provide a metallic package having awooden head and adapted to meet the reuirenients of the internal lrevenue laws oi t e United States with reference to marking and branding.

in the drawings-Figure l is a perspective view of a package embodying-my invention. Fig. :2 is a top plan view oi the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical lview in mid-section of the top and bottom of the said package, the main body portion beinfy broken' away.

As shown in the drawings, the body of the package of my invention consists of a metallic cylindrical shell Ll having a metallic bot- Near the top of the shell 4 I have provided the circumferential, annular depression 6. Within the upper portion oi' the shell 4 and above the circumferential, annular corrugation 7 corresponding with the depression 6,1 have provided a metallic cylindenhead S having the peripheral up-turncd ilange, the diameter of the head S being such as to permit it to lit closely within the shell 4. upon the head 1l).

v v Superiinposed head S i have provided the wooden hear the center of the head i liave provided the vertically projecting bolts i l l passing .tl'nough .and riveted into the head S, and projecting upwardly as shown in the drawing. Near the center ol the Wooden head l() i have provided the countersunk openings l2 provided at their bottoms with tie holes i3, the openings l2 boing so located as to register with the locations of ythe bolts il, and to admit the upper ends of the bolts il after the wooden head l() has been seated in place within the cylinder-head 8. When the Wooden head 1G is thus seated in place, it is secured in place Within the head 8 y means of the nuts 14. which are screwed in place upon the bolts 1l by means of the rey l5.

. lhe object in providing the countersunl; openings l2 is two-fold g first, to admit of the outer surface the Wooden head l0 being scraped to remove the marks and brands placed upon packages containing distilled spirits, under the requirements of the l^`tevised Statutes of the United States, and the rules and regulations concerning the manufacture, taxation, bonding, sale and eX- portation oi distilled spirits romulgated by the'om'missioner of interna Revenue of the United States and second, in order that the internal revenue stam 16 may be affixed` upon the upper face o the Wooden head l() and over the countersnnk openings 12 to form a seal so that the said nuts le cannot be removed from the bolts 'il except by the destruction oi' the said internal revenue stamp lo. Jhon more than one internal revenue stamp is intended to be aiiixed to the same package, one ci' the said. stamps may be placed above and over each oi the said countersnnk openings l2 to form a seal.

The combined head comprising the metall lic cylinder-head 8 and the wooden head 10 being seated in position in the mouth of the l shell 1i, the same is retained and heldin place by means of the chime-hoop 17 having the l inwardly turned 'flange 18 and provided about its periphery with the inwardly prol jeoting screws 18 Whose points project in the l manner indicated by the numeral i9, and enl l l l l l gage with the annular depression 6 tolock and'securethe chime-hoop 17 4in place, thus locking the chime-hoop 17 in position and holding the head of the ackage,y comprising the Wooden head l0 an the metallic cylinder-head 8, securely in position.

".lhe primary object oi my invention is to provide package. capable of use under the internal revenue laws of the United States, l and the regulations of the Commissioner ol.' internal Revenue of the United States, and which is capable of being used repeatedly upon the outer surface oi` the Wooden head 10 being planed or scraped to obliterate the brands placed upon it in connection with its rmer use as a receptacle for distilled pir-its. 'i

it is also necessary that tl'ife revenue stamp or stamps may be used as a seal so that the Wood surface cannot be removed from the metallic base without the destruction of the i l l stamp or stamps.

It is obvious that any desired form or shape of package may be employed, and I have illustrated a cylindrical package herein merely to show one form of' my invention,' which embraces any and every' lform of packbranded, superimposed upon a metallic inder-hei1d and within the 11p-turned pen. sie,

ege in which e. wooden cover, adapted to be base, and so scoured to metallic base that the revenue stamp or stamps may be applied to scsi the securing ineens, so that the wooden cover cannot be removed from its niet-allie bese without destroying the stamp or stamps.

Having thus described my invention, what .l claim es new and desire to have secured to nie by grant ci Letters Patent, is:
